The Herald, 1907-11-29, Page 3GREAT ARTIST'S KINDNESS. Ellen Beach Yaw, the young gseiroa tonna, who is to visit Canada shortly, While crossing the Atlantic a few months Igo, went forward one day to the ship's" bow, that she might better observe the lffeet of the sun's rays upon the water. to do this it was necessary to pass a trumber of steerage passengers, coal beavers and servants, mostly Italians, tngaged in playing and singing for their t!wn amusement, Upon the approach of the famous singer, these poor people, re- tognizing her, immediately ceased their music, and made room for her to pass; handing in respectful silence as she did M. Observing this, she addressed them In their own langugae, the • Italian, re- vesting them not to allow her to dis- urb their diversions, saying she was very fond of their music. On returning, she found them again engaged in playing rand singing, in the original, a selection from an Italian opera. Without a mo- taent's hesitation she joined in the sing- ing, and immediately she was engaged in 6 heart to heart and hand to hand touch with these swarthy sons and daughters of Italy. Nothing can describe their apparent {oy at this sudden good fortune, and as the world-renowned artist finally with- drew, bowing her thanks and acknowl- edging her gratitude, these joyous crea- tures filled the air with heart repetitions of their favorite' "bravos." • WHAT SHE SAID. This is what Tommy Brown's German teacher said to him one day when he same to school: "Well, Tommy, you are early of late. You used to be behind before, but now you're first at last."

Phillips Brooks once preached a ser- mon from the text, "Who passing through the valley of weeping make it a well." He said that there were two ways of treating sorrow. One may say,. "This that I have to bear is hard, but the clouds will break and there will some better days. Compensation is in store for me. It may not be in this world, but some time it will all be made up to me." Or he may say, "I will do just what Scripture tells Inc to do, I will make of my valleys. of weeping, well -springs of joy. I will turn sadness into occasions for rejoicing." The apos- tle says, "In everything give thanks." Assuredly we cannot be thankful for everything, but in every experience that comes to us we may find some reason for giving thanks. When Jeremy Tay- lor's house had been plundered, all Ida worldly possessions squandered, his family turned out of doors, he congrat- ulated himself that his enemies had left him "the sun and moon, a loving wife, many friends to pity and relieve, the Providence of G-od, all the promises of the Gospel, my religion, my hope of heaven, and my charity toward my ene- mies." Can you see the glory of the Lord in the cloud? Rode a Hippopotamus. • The meeting here of Lord Selborne, High Commissroner of South Africa, and Luan- lka. Paramount Chief of Barotseland, was full of quaint incident. Nothing could .oe more picturesque than Lupanika's arrival. A fleet of some 250 na- tive dugout canoes came up the broad Zam- besi, led by the chief's own enormous boat, with its crew of thirty paddlers. There broke from the hundreds of' women 'assembled on the shore the royal song of welcome as Luanika's craft drew nigh. Dressed In every imaginable brilliant color, black faces shining and black eyes sparkling with excitement, the women marched slowly forward to the rhythmical clapping of hands, chanting as they went, to the river bank, and then, with wild shrieks and peals of laughter, broke their rank's and raced to bathe their hands and faces in the water in which the king's boat swam. In the evening the Paramount Chief pre- sented Lord Selborne with a young hippopot- amus. Thle beast, which is perfectly tame and about half grown, had followed the chief's canoe 300 miles down the river from LialuI. taking no more than a passing in- terest 1n the herds of wild "hippos" on the way. It slept noacefully through the great- er part of the presentation ceremony, and ws finally gallantly mounted and ridden out of the court yard by a member of the Parts Missionary Society.—Sesheke correspondence London Daily Mall. NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARIES. `fine city of New York has three public library systems, one for Manhattan, Bronx and Richmond. boroughs, another for. Brooklyn and another for Queen's borough. In .1906 there were thirty-six, circulating branch libraries in the Man- hattan, Bronx and Richmond system, with 565,482 books, having last year a "circulation of 4,752,628; in Brooklyn 25 t a 5.'vith 476,0 0w;3jte::sae a circa^. m:n .' ,fi�ll;GtiS, airs' Queen's fusaarie teen branches with 92,910 books and a Circulation of 344,038. In the 45cities of the State, contain- ing, by the. census of 1005, 5,700,675 in- habitants, or 70 per cent. of the total population, there are 2,499,408 books in the free circulating libraries, or an aver- age of 100 books for every 224 inhabi- tants. In fourteen cities, including New ]sura., the supply of books is below this average. In thirty-one cities it is above the average. The library circulation in cities was 11,741,573, a gain of 1,034,627 or .15 per cent. for the year. As com- pared with population this circulation was at the rate of twobooks for each inhabitant. As compared with the books available, every 100 books were used 461 times. In this respect New York city is above the average. While the city circulation was 11,741,- 573 for 5,700,675 inhabitants, the circu- lation outside of cities for 2,366,633 in- habitants was 2,068,439. This indicates that 70 per cent. of the population of the State living in cities use 85 per cent. of the books, and while in the cities each inhabitant had two books, in the country each had less than one.

Considerable sympathy was fait for the driver, as he gazed ruefully at the shattered fragments. A be- nevolent -looking old geude:nen eyed him compassionately, "My poor man," he said, "I suppose you will have to make good this loss out of your own pocket 9" "Yep," was the melancholy reply. "Well, well," said the philantroptc old gen- tleman, "hold out your hat—here's a . quar- ter for you, and I dare say some of these other people will give you a helping hand, too." The driver held out his hat and several persona hastened to drop coins in it. At last, when the contributors had ceased, he emptied the contents of his hat into his poc- ket. Then, pointing to the retreating fig- ure of the philanthropist, who had started the colleotion, ho observed : "Say, maybe he ain't the wise guy!

There is such a frank and unassumed sense of community about the whole thing. The boys adore their nlotuer, the girls their father, the parents take such a whole hearted de- light in their chilldren and the children ars so happy and respectful. It is a sight of which every Frenchman may be proud. Then again French . parents love to piny the part of a lesser Providence to their eaaaren, Nowhere in the world are so many or no varied toys for chil- dren made and sold as in Paris.

MATCH FOR THE COAT THIEF, "There is a little town out in Iowa where our train stopped at the dinner hour for a few minutes the other day that is noted for the thieves about the station," said a drummer at the Hollen- den yesterday. "They know that most of the passengers leave the train to get a bite to eat and they go through the train and pick up suit cases, overcoats or anything they can lay hands on. "Of course the conductors or the few passengers in the coaches can't always tell but that the stuff belongs to the man taking it and they don't like to say anything. One man on our train knew the reputation of the place, and when he laid his cravenette coat over the back of his seat he ran a little chain around the arm of the seat and through one sleeve of the coat and fastened it with a padlock. Then he moved back to an- other seat to await results. In a little while a well dressed young man passed down the aisle rapidly and grabbed up the coat as he went by. Ile turned three or four different colors when he saw that the coat was nailed down. 'I thought that was my coat,' he said, as he looked around at the few of us who had noticed him "'Yes,' spoke up the owner of the coat, 'and if I hadn't had it chained Y guess it would have been yours.'
